Multiple Trojans Named to MVC Scholar-Athlete Team

LITTLE ROCK- Fourteen members of the Little Rock swimming and diving team were named to the Missouri Valley Conference's 2019 Scholar-Athlete Team, announced Wednesday by league officials.

Scholar-Athlete honors require athletes to have completed at least one year and maintain either a 3.2 grade-point average and obtain all-conference honors, achieve a 3.5 grade-point average and finish top-16 in an individual event at the conference championships, or maintain a 3.8 grade-point average and participate in the MVC championship (including non-scorers).

Eight Trojans earned a perfect 4.0 GPA during the semesters of competition. The student-athletes to achieve this feat include: Laura Ruiz Astorga, Jessie Baldwin, Amanda Dreyer, Vasiliki Falaina, Carolyn Ann Godwin, Palmer Ristroph, Katelyn White and Lea Zengerling.
